Life lessons are an invaluable emotional tool that can set you up on a path of being successful, only if you stop to notice them. So how do you pick up on the lesson itself when sometimes you are too busy to notice it? Even worst, you are too proud to acknowledge it. For someone like me who is still an adolescent not only in heart, but also mind, my barrier has been my pride. In my eagerness to succeed at a very young age, I sometimes forget the meaning of my actions and the consequences of those actions. [Read More...]

Investor Myth #3: Market Timing is Impossible
Source: AFCAssetManagement.com
Market timing is not only possible, it is crucial!
Throughout my career, I have heard that it is impossible to time the market. Actually market timing is not only possible, it is crucial! The old rationale behind the impossibility of market timing was often presented with two very impressive sounding notions that convince many of their validity – “Efficient Markets Theory” and “Random Walk Theory”. Perhaps it is the fact that I am a practitioner and not a professional scholar that I can empathize with the difficulty in reading about financial theories, so let us get down to brass tacks [Read More...]

Car Control Boot Camp at Team O’Neil Rally School
We’ve all seen the insanity of Ken Block’s YouTube videos where he’s blasting his car sideways through an airfield obstacle course coming to near collisions with random objects. Most can’t believe what they are seeing is real. The truth is even with great movie editing; Ken Block has amazing car control skills.
As a road racer, my experience with car control has been on wet skid pads and scary situations on track, which usually ends with a mild heart attack. “Happens to everyone”, I’m told, “that’s how you learn”, but that didn’t seem right.

Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) Announces Breakaway Series
Eight current teams have released a statement revealing that they are to leave Formula 1 at the end of this season. Members of the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) sent out the message following a meeting on Thursday, stating that all current teams apart from Williams and Force India will leave F1 at the end of 2009.
